I got a call from a lady saying that she lost her engagement ring in Lake Huron at Crescent State Park in Michigan. My daughter and I traveled 2 1/2 hours to meet the couple. After they showed me where it should be in the water, I got searching and found it in about 15 minutes. It was worth driving that distance to see the smiles on their faces.
With the hot summer sun high in the sky, all types of people are driven to the lakes. Tyler was at the lake as well, on Coeur D’ Alene Lake on the Fourth of July. His task that day was to help dock the pontoon boat that his uncle was driving. Like every other thing lost off a boat the story goes the same way. A sudden wave, a quick turn, a wet foot slips and overboard goes said item. For Tylers iPhone it seemed to grow legs and take a swan dive into the cool green water after it suddenly came out of his pocket. Watching the phone descend into the unknow abyss, Tyler got the summertime blues. That afternoon, Tyler spent snorkeling around that area where the phone fell in. After not finding the phone, the word spread through the little lake community of University Point. As the news reached the next-door neighbors’ ears, the kind neighbors searched the web for some help. It wasn’t long after that, they had a name and number of a guy who had the gear and the knowledge to find Tylers phone. The next day I got a text and call from Tyler, and we made plans for me to come and take a look after work. As I made a short drive into Idaho, Tyler and I went over the plans for the search. After all the set up my scuba gear takes, I was in the water searching with the fishes. I started off in 22 ft of water and made a few grid lines up and down a steep slope in the water. Tyler had me move in closer to the dock after I had no luck. I was now in nine feet of water, and the weeds were really thick. I went back and forth in front of my buoy, and again I didn’t find the phone. As two hours of looking came and went so did my air. I was at the very last of my air limit with 1000 psi left. I swam up to the edge of the dock and asked Tyler where I should look on my last dive. His eyes darted out to my buoy, and he said, » did you see the really tall weeds out there? », I answered back with a quick yes and then he told me look behind my buoy in the thick weeds. I had made one pass around my buoys anchors already. This time I swung out a little bit more and as soon as the light from the sunset came through the weeds I got a huge hit on my Excalibur. With a quick pinpoint, my detector started to overload, and I knew I was on a good target. Reaching through the coil I could feel the smooth face of the phone, so I grabbed it. The clear case was almost back in the water, but the sticker Tyler said it had on the back I could clearly see. As I came out of the water I held the phone high. I could see Tyler and his aunt cheering on the edge of the dock. The sweet summer fun Tyler is going to have this year will include a story about his lost phone. However, the best part about his story will be when he pulls the phone out of his pocket and shows everyone that it still works even though everyone thought it was a goner. Just so you know, iPhone’s reign supreme when it comes to waterproofness. Lastly, the water may steal away what is valuable, but The Ring Finders are amphibious and determined to reclaim all that the water steals.
Boats Hate Phones, But I Love Finding Them
I got a call from a lady saying that her husband lost his wedding ring at Sanford Lake in Michigan. I met them both there to try to find it. The husband said he was in about a 75 foot long area along the beach in the water. He said that he didn’t go out farther than 30 feet. He was playing with his kids and crawling on the lake bottom. I figured that I would start at where he could crawl and keep his head above water. In less than five minutes and my first signal, I scooped up his ring.They were both happy to have it back and it made my day to get it back to him.
On June 10, 2026, just before 4 pm, I received a voice mail saying, “Hi, this is Mark. I’m calling Mr. Wren about finding a lost ring at Sunset Beach, NC. You can call me back at this number. Thank you.” I immediately called him back to get the details. When I called, I talked to Mark’s wife, Annemarie and she stated that she was at the beach and decided to take a swim. When she reached the water, she realized she still had her mother’s engagement ring and her grandmother’s wedding band on. She walked back up the beach, took her rings off and rolled them up in a towel to keep them safe. After a long swim, she returned to her spot and grabbed the towel to wrap herself up in and get warm. She forgot about the rings until she saw one fly out of the towel. She was able to flag down a roving lifeguard who helped find the wedding ring. I asked her if she could meet me, but she wasn’t able to until the next morning. Sunset Beach gets heavily detected, and I told her if we wait until the next day there’d be a good chance the ring would be gone. She finally told me where she had been sitting, which was under the pier. So I grabbed my detector and made the 30-minute drive. When I arrived, a good friend had also decided to hunt Sunset Beach. He always detects under the pier and then moves out east or west. I told him what I was there for and we walked out to the pier. I wasn’t real sure which section of the pier she was under. I ran into the lifeguard that helped find her wedding band and he pointed out the area. I turned my machine on and made a couple of swings and got a solid 9, showing me a yellow gold target. One scoop and I had the ring. I called her and we made arrangements for me to deliver it at 9 am the next day, which we did.
Annemarie – Thank you for allowing me to help find your mother’s engagement ring.

There are only a few reasons why Jade would take off her ring, which was a gorgeous white gold wedding ring her grandma left her when she passed. However, the reason that made her ring come off was not a reason she had ever considered. See, Jade was at a birthday party for her nephew, and it was in full swing. The pool was cool and refreshing. The drinks were delicious and overflowing. Jade’s family were all having a great time. Amongst all this glee there was a tussle that broke out. It was brother vs. sister; I’m pretty sure sister won. This led into a cousin falling down and Jade and a few others trying to pick up the poor fella. The night seemed to slip away into the darkness of a hazy birthday party. After the fog of a few too many had lifted, Jade’s hand that the ring was on felt a little off. As Jade brought it up into view, the problem became very clear. Grandmas ring was missing. The moments turned into hours, the hours turned into an afternoon, the whole family was in search and recover mode. They took a quick trip to the hardware store, and they had a metal detector in their grip. Swinging the coil around felt awkward. The myriads of signals played havoc on their confidence and ultimately left them feeling hopeless. Hopeless fingers got online and typed in a search term that brought up The Ring Finders website. The same fingers dialed the local Ring Finder. My ears got to hear the sad story of how Jade lost her ring. Then I drove quickly to Jade’s mom’s house where the ring was hiding. Tracy, Jade’s mom gave me more details about that night before and how the ring probably was lost. I made a few passes over the most likely spot and then moved outward from there. After completing two grid searches on the grass I moved onto the unlikely areas. Behind the pool, in the trash can, in the neighbor’s yard and finally around the patio. As some of Jade’s family was leaving so was my hope in finding Jade’s ring. Talking about how I would search the house with Tracy, I decided to go over how the ring could be lost in the gap of the flower box and the fence. Both the flower box and the fence were giving off strong metal signals. Even though I had already searched with my coil and my pin pointer in this flower box I had not pulled back the grass and looked in the gap. As I shuffled through the weeds, I moved a pool noodle that was wedged in the gap. After not seeing the ring, I set down the noodle and got a very shocking glimpse of Jade’s ring. The eruption of emotion took over the moment. Jade had been inside the house when I said the famous Ring Finders words, » I Found It ». Tracy called to Jade and they both embraced in a hug with tears of joy running down their faces. Shock waves for happiness radiated out from that back yard. The thoughts of a higher power at work crossed Jades mind as she looked up to sky at her late grandma smiling down on her. I know how mysterious Gods works are and that afternoon was no small miracle. Jade’s ring was found and I thank the God for that. Thank you, Jade, and to your family as well for trusting The Ring Finders and believing in the goodness of people.
The Feisty Grand Kid loses Grandmas Wedding Ring
One of my favorite memories…
After finding my first ever gold ring while metal detecting, I did a little detective work to track down the original owner. The ring I found was a big 1960 gold class ring from a nearby high school. After a little research, I found that the school keeps photos of each graduating class in the main hallway. After finding the class of 1960 all I had to do was find the person with the same initials on the ring, and as luck would have it, there was only one match. I instantly punched his name into Google on my phone, and to my surprise, he was the first person to pop up. After contacting this person and asking him if he had lost a class ring, we set up a meeting so I could return it to him. He and his wife were thrilled to see the ring again after over fifty years of being lost, and I was glad I could be a part of its return.
After more than 50 years lost, the ring made its way back to the original owner. It’s moments like these that remind me why I love detecting!
I shared the full story on youtube, and the video has been viewed over 2.4 million times.

A family lost a ring in the river and asked if I could help find it. Using my new Minelab Vanquish 560, we searched the water and recovered it! This was one of those hunts that reminds you why metal detecting is so addicting. Not just the find, but getting to return something that truly mattered to someone.

A Memorial Day vacation for Constantine and Silvana was winding down. All the fun filled activities planned for that weekend were almost completed. However, Constantine had one last challenge to attempt. He and his buddy wanted to do a cold plunge in the frigid waters of the Ponderay lake. Gritting his teeth as the cold-water bit into his feet, Constantine stepped quickly onto his paddle board. Then Constantine paddled out into about seven feet of water. After a few encouraging words from his family, he dove into the murky green water. As Constanine kicked off the board, the board floated quickly away from him. The shock of the ice-cold water gave Constantine a boost of energy, so he swam quickly to retrieve his board. Reaching for the edge of the paddle board, the wedding ring he was wearing left his finger and sank quickly into the lake. There was a video taken of Constanine during his cold plunge experiment. This gave me the confidence I needed when I showed up to search for his lost ring. I was told that the video showed him with and without the ring. Also, I got a forewarning for the ice-cold water. So, I brought all of my cold-water gear. The first few steps into the water gripped my ankles as the water made its way into my dive boots. The rest of my suit kept out the cold fingers of the winter snow runoff water. There was a distinct L shape Constanine made, while swimming around. I started at the very end of that L and made my way to where Constanine had jumped off and then climbed back onto the board. Each passing second seemed like an eternity to Silvana as she watched me searching. Silvana was probably playing the wedding over and over in her head because they had just gotten married two months before. The new wedding ring that Constanine had just started wearing, already held a lot of memories and sentiment to the both of them. At the very moment when hope was fading as I came close to the end of the L shape, I saw a very round shape sitting in the rocks. My first attempt to pick the ring up with the scoop failed. The water was just a little too deep, because as I tried to dive down, the buoyancy of my suit shot me back up to the surface. After failing twice, I collected myself and yelled to the crowd watching, “I found It!”. Their cheers put me back into the mindset I needed. My scoop was to my left sitting motionless. I grabbed it and went at the ring again. This time the ring fell gently into my scoop. As I passed my scoop up to Constantine, the whole dock worth of people where smiling and cheering. I have had a lot of scoops full that revealed a valuable item, but none of them felt as good as a successful ring find does. Blessings to you Constantine and Silvana, may God Bless your marriage and life together. Thank you for trusting The Ring Finders you two.
